To mark the show's 20th anniversary, a "20th Anniversary" byline is seen in Futura underneath the Jeopardy! logo. Finally,the Jeopardy! logo then swings forward, in which the "J" reveals the 2002-2009 set.

The "DOUBLE" and "FINAL" in Double and Final Jeopardy, as well as the Daily Double text, are changed to Impact; the Daily Double text gained a black color scheme to match the season's title card. On later episodes of this season, it was changed to red.

Starting with this season, the contestant introductions were changed to outer box introductions.

Also, the contestant intro and Final Jeopardy! winnings strips became blue, with black text in a font resembling Helvetica.
